Here, there be dragons

Let's be honest here.  This is probably one of the hardest Pinspired Friday posts I have planned.

Why?

First off, finding a quote for this pin was harder than I thought it would be.  I thought of song after song I liked, but I couldn't think of one special enough to write on this scarf.  I mean, there's songs I like now, but whether I would like them in the future or whether they were clean (you know what I mean) enough that I could wear the scarf to school...

Complements of the boxing day sales, finding a scarf wasn't hard at all.

Finding permanent fabric pens, however, was hard!  The original pin recommends this Tee-paint-stuff, but being in Australia and not wanting to purchase them online... made finding the fabric pens so much harder.  I ended up finding a pack of four Sharpie fabric pens on sale! (Sharpie!  Who knew they did permanent fabric pens!)

Personalised Scarf Quote

I was given this quote by one of my lecturers in my second year of uni (in my favorite subject ever, might I add):

"Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G.K. Chesterton.

Since then, I've loved the quote, and thought it'd be perfect for my scarf.  Granted, it took me looking at the quotes section of my Facebook page to find it, but none the less.

Close up of the weave

Turns out, the scarf I bought was huge (looking back at the page I bought it from says it's 236cm x 65cm which I didn't realise when I bought it...) with a seriously open weave which was a pain to write on, but it's still cute, none the less.

Close up of the knot

That's what it looks like all tied up.  I had intentions to actually wear it to show you, but...  it's too hot to wear a scarf right now!

The text is super subtle when it's tied up, but I still love it!

The original pin
Tied!
This is mine!

I definitely can't wait to wear this!  Oh, and in case you're interested, this is the scarf I bought for this project!

See you on Tuesday!
